Marble statue representing a young prince dressed in a toga praetexta with the bulla aurea hanging on his chest. It is probably a portrait of either Britannicus or Nero, the designated successors of Claudius I. It was part of a series of effigies of members of the Julian-Claudian imperial family that stood on the scaenae frons of the Tarraco theatre.
